Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

In today's time, the president of the United States is arguably one of the two most powerful men in the world, the other being undoubtedly the head of a vast country on the other side of the Bering Strait.

It's just that in the eyes of real bigwigs, the president of the United States is actually the representative of the capital consortium pushed to the front.

This may not have been the case before the seventh president of the United States, but after the seventh president in American history, the presidential election has turned into a confrontation between the two parties behind the donkey.

Although the major political families in the United States also have great influence, it has been proved that in the United States, the consortium is the master.

Disappointed by the traditional political family, the consortium directly broke the cooperation with the political family, rolled up its sleeves and appeared in person and launched its own spokesperson, which led to the division of internal politics in the United States.

When the afterlife returns to the future, at this time, the consortium still abides by the rules.

The pre-selection stage of the U.S. general election, which started on the third Tuesday in February, has lasted for more than four months, and the period is naturally exciting.

But there are only a few days until the end of the preselection, and only the last state is still anxious.

But the situation for the candidates of the two parties has become clearer.

Some are happy and some are sad.

In a suburban villa in Washington, Washington.

Ronald Wilson Reagan was surrounded by a crowd, once again discussing the prospect of a campaign.

From the atmosphere of the discussion, it can be seen that a group of people are in a relaxed mood, and it is obvious that the election prospects are very good.

Here, not only Reagan's campaign steward (agent) Bill Casey, but also the campaign's pollsters, media consultants, political advertisers, etc., in addition to political consultants from all over the country .

Bill Casey took out sheets of the latest statistics and sent them to everyone.

"Mr. Reagan, at present we are in the first echelon of the campaign, and we are still at the forefront, and in the party, the only threats to you are George Herbert Walker Bush, such as John B. Anderson , Jesse Costa and others, no threat to you."

Reagan read the various percentages on the data, although he was happy, he said with a slightly solemn expression: "We can't be careless yet,

George Bush's political background is deeper than mine, and the Bush family's strength is not limited to the political field, and no one is sure what means they will have. "

Indeed, the Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium. George Bush's grandfather, Samuel Bush, was a steel and oil tycoon, and his grandmother was Wall Street financial tycoon Walker.

Outsiders see the Bush family as a new political family, mainly thanks to George Bush's father, Prescott, who established a personal relationship with President Eisenhower and entered the Senate in 1950.

Then there is George Bush, who first joined the military, then went into business, was elected to the House of Representatives, served as the chairman of the Republican National Committee, served as a diplomat, and even served as the director of the CIA. A series of experiences made the Bush family stand in the political circles. Steady your heels.

But the most powerful thing of the Bush family is its commercial strength. The family industry covers oil, banking, military industry, sports and other fields.

And the Bush family has a good relationship with the Rockefeller family.

Although George Bush is currently in a weak position, if the Bush family really does their best, as long as they promise enough benefits, those who originally supported Reagan are likely to change their positions.

Because of this, Reagan did not dare to relax any moment before the Republican National Convention was held and the nomination results were announced.

Seeing that Reagan was so cautious when he gained the upper hand, Bill Casey had more confidence in him. This is the man who does big things, and it is very cautious when it is time to be cautious.

However, there are some things, or let Reagan have a bottom line, such as campaign finance.

"By the way, Mr. Reagan, we have $6.52 million left in our campaign funds."

Hearing this number, not only Reagan, but other political advisers also smiled, and there is such a huge amount of money, which is definitely enough for the next election.

As for how to spend it, it will depend on the situation in the next two weeks. If George Bush is still struggling, the money will have to be spent on the competition within the party and try his best to win the presidential nomination.

If you can successfully become a presidential candidate, then this bridge will be used to compete with the Democratic presidential candidate.

No matter what, the money will always be spent and converted into votes.

"Mr. Reagan, our campaign funds should be at the forefront of all candidates. If the funds behind are not enough, I will do my best to solve it for you."

At this time, financial advisor Rhodes Saxon said with a smile.

Reagan glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Mr. Rhodes, I'm going to trouble you next."

"it is my responsibility!"

Rhodes Saxon said calmly.

This person is an extremely important member of Reagan's campaign team, and is actually the person recommended by Xia Yu, who mainly contacts Xia Yu.

To put it bluntly, when Reagan's money is not enough, as long as Reagan speaks, Rhodes Saxon will report to Xia Yu in time, and within a few days, legal political donations from various channels will be sent to Reagan. The campaign provides ammunition.

During the campaign, Reagan found many sponsors, but no tycoon could surpass Xia Yu's efforts.

Next, the discussion sounded again in the hall, and everyone expressed their opinions, hoping to fill in the gaps for Reagan's campaign again.

...

There are two flowers on each table.

A similar scene also happened in Houston, the largest city in Texas, where the Bush family resides.

It's just that the atmosphere here is far less relaxed and comfortable than that of Reagan.

George Bush looked solemnly at the data in his hands, while his campaign surrogate Jim Baker and political advisers across the country watched him quietly.

These data are campaign data compiled by Jim Baker and others. Of course, they are informal representative statistics. Although they are not official, they are also very representative and not far from the official ones.

George Bush was a little irritable, threw the data on the coffee table, swept his eyes across the faces of everyone, and finally stopped on the face of campaign agent Jim Baker, frowned and said: "Jim, the data does not represent everything, if We play with percentages, then I won't run!"

Although Jim Baker does not want to admit defeat, he is a very good proxy candidate with many advantages. He is not only an efficient manager, but also good at analytical thinking, such as understanding the opponents, knowing himself and himself, and In the heat of the campaign, he has remained calm.

Of course, if he had any merit in his evaluation of himself, he would say that he was good at counseling.

Just like now, he's going to say something to George Bush that he doesn't want to hear.

"George, we've all had serious discussions and we're all on the same page. With the current trend, Ronald Reagan will be nominated for the first round of voting, and we don't have a chance."

George Bush shook his head and said, "Jim, I'll never give up until anything is over, and now when Bush starts giving up, we've won caucuses in California, New Jersey, and Ohio!"

Jim Baker shook his head and sighed, pointing to the document on the coffee table that they had collected day and night, and said to George Bush: "But George, the campaign is over, you look at the data carefully, you seem to be the only one who doesn't know. people in this situation.”

"While we won the caucuses in California, New Jersey and Ohio, BUT!"

Speaking of this, Jim Beck paused for a while before saying solemnly, "We're running out of money!"

"At this time, it is too late to catch up. If you want to catch up, you need to pay a huge price, and even if you become a presidential candidate, we will have no money in the next competition with the Democratic Party!"

George Bush's face stiffened, his brows furrowed.

Seeing that George Bush did not speak for a long time, Jim Baker said earnestly: "George, I am also responsible for the situation at this point. The campaign strategy formulated at the beginning went wrong, and I did not expect that Reagan had strong funds behind it. And the media support, if we adjust the catch-up from the beginning, we can still have time.”

"But it's too late, Reagan has gained the love of the majority of the people, and that's his advantage."

"The Republican Party is in desperate need of a victory to restore its decline. If the Democrats are re-elected this time, it will be a big blow to our Republican Party. What the top needs are people who can defeat Jimmy Carter. Compared with Ronald Reagan, you Although his political background is deeper, it is still not as good as Jimmy Carter, but Reagan, a lighter-colored outsider, can compete more differentiatedly against Jimmy Carter."

Jim Baker didn't want to persuade George Bush to give up, if he could, because it meant that he too had failed, and his efforts for so long would be in vain.

But he didn't let George Bush get into it for himself, he was a friend of George Bush, and he didn't want to mess with his friends.

If the Bush family is fully launched, it is indeed possible to become the Republican presidential candidate, but this requires the Bush family to pay a great price.

If the election is not successful in the end, all the previous investment will be in vain.

So he didn't dare to take this risk. After all, George Bush's political advantages are useless for the current president, Jimmy Carter. He has no experience as vice president, and he has never served as governor. It is difficult to jump to the top. too big!

If this term, without the dark horse of Ronald Reagan, George Bush has the best chance. As long as he has the resources and support of the Republican Party, he can still give it a shot.

It's just a pity that the rise of Ronald Reagan was fierce.

In this piece, George Bush has a similar feeling of "both Shengyu and He Shengliang".

"Jim, I'll go out and calm down first."

After speaking, George Bush got up and walked straight to the door, leaving behind everyone who looked at each other in dismay.

George Bush's wife Barbara immediately got up and followed George Bush.

Jim Baker shrugged, looked at the others, and said lightly, "Guys, let's wait."
